Description

I found 2 nice pieces of Gasoline Alley art at a recent auction. Both have a beach theme. This one is a daily. I think it is a fun piece of art a fun image of people in the park. What I find particularly interesting is the common theme of people doing handstands and other types of gymnastics in public. I wonder if this was a common past-time circa 1929. King shows how he can draw crowds of people with everyone looking different and with different personalities. I like the images of Walt in this daily and how his suit makes a single black shape with no definition of lines within its organic mass.

I like this one just as much as the Sunday tier. Very nice catch Jeff!

Love this one! (and to your question, I have many photos of my grandfather from this era striking similar poses and flexing his stuff. He was a fitness buff, granted, so I can't speak to whether it was a new fad).

So much personality in every face and figure and tree! Love the contrast of the black suit and all the other figures on the page
